Certainly! We have no other plans while the game is doing as well as it is now.

For which we are very grateful.
Yup! I cannot belive when I see all the people who were angry at launch actually enjoying the game and supproting you guys :) I guess the game is just so good that after first 2-3 days of crashes when it became more stable, people saw how amazing it is.

Lets admit it, if they put in a tophat made of greenbills in game someone would buy it.

Now the real cashcow they haven't started is random hatboxes. I'm under the impression salem did really well with those.

Or, you know, they left the forums (and threads in other forums where the game is discussed) and you don't hear from them anymore. I don't know how many people quit, but there definitely have been people that quit due to the controversy.

Day one we had 1700 players online. Week later we have 700 or so in primetime, 500 pretty reliably.

Overall that kind of retention rate when a lot of people were originally thinking this game was going to be free is pretty good.

Retention in 2-3 months is the key though.
